Blake Lively, the “Gossip Girl” actress, is defending her children’s privacy after a passionate response to the paparazzi she claims hounded and distorted images of her family.

The 33-year-old actress’ tweet was addressed at a publication that had published images from the event.

“My children were being stalked by a men [sic] all day,” Lively wrote on her Instagram Story, according to E! News. “Jumping out. And then hiding. A stranger on the street got into words with them because it was so upsetting for her to see.”

“Where is your morality here? I would like to know. Or do you simply not care about the safety of children?” Lively added.

Lively went on to ask outlets and paparazzi to stop paying “grown a– men” to “hide and hunt” children.

“At minimum, listen to your followers,” the actress continued. “They too understand this is dark and upsetting that you pay people to stalk children. Please stop paying grown a– men to hide and hunt children. There are plenty of pictures you could’ve published without the kids. Please delete. C’mon. Get with the times.”

Lively’s remarks regarding paparazzi came after supermodel Gigi Hadid asked photographers not to shoot her nine-month-old daughter.

Previously, Gigi Hadid wrote a long letter to the media, urging that they refrain from photographing her baby Khai as she grows older.

The supermodel announced on Instagram Story that she will no longer hide her baby girl’s face when she leaves the house.

She did request that the photographers respect their privacy by blurring any photos with Khai’s face in them.
